3x3 Children's Book Competition 2012

Got a nice surprise in the mail last week, the latest issue of 3x3 magazine, featuring works from the 2012 Children's Book competition. My travel series made it into the mix, and is pictured here. I've included larger versions from the grouping below. I wanted to send out a big thank you to 3x3 for the award and recognition, it means so much coming from so beautiful a magazine. Go out and grab a copy today!

Katmandu - Ancient Temples of Durbar Square

Rome - Colosseum

Copenhagen - Canal

Freetown - Marketplace

Tokyo - Habuchi District

I thought it might be fun to include the original sketches (to show how these look starting out). 

Harry Potter wisdom

Trayvon Martin

I had an instructor in school who cautioned us from creating work about serious subjects we're not directly connected to. I understand what she meant and I wrestled with posting this.  But when I heard the verdict last night, my heart sank and I knew I had to say something.
Peace and love to the victims and families of injustice-
